Per Mertesacker hails Santi Cazorla after his performance against Aston Villa – Football News

German International, Per Mertesacker, praised his fellow teammate, Santi Cazorla, after his brace led Arsenal conquer Aston Villa in the Barclays English Premier League on 23rd February.

The Spanish playmaker gave his top notch performance at the Emirates Stadium this Saturday when he hit the opener in just six minutes from the start of the match. The Lions managed to equalise in the second half but Cazorla let his spark lit and fired the winner five minutes to stoppage time.

As a result, Cazorla not only eased pressure on Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger but also let his side in contention for a spot in the top four. The Gunners crashed out from the FA Cup against Blackburn Rovers and suffered a 1-3 loss against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League earlier this season. This victory gave the Red Army confidence boost and let them stay in contention for Champions League in the next season.

“You see he takes his chances with his technique and his feeling,” the German defender was quoted in an interview to the Arsenal Player. “He is the perfect footballer. He has the technique to score goals and that’s what we need after losing the last two home games.”

Arsenal will next take on their arch rivals Tottenham Hotspurs. The German International wants his side to carry their rhythm and reflected,

“We want to climb up the league into the top four. That’s our target for the next couple of weeks. We have enough games to achieve that. The last two home games against Tottenham were absolutely fantastic. We try to keep that in our mind and want to achieve the same things, to score goals. If we play our game properly, we can compete with every team in the Premier League. That’s what we need next Sunday.”
